Today is the
birthday of one of my very special Kindness Muses. She does not live in town, so early this
morning, my children and I called and left a singing Happy Birthday message on
her voicemail. A couple of hours later,
I received a text saying that she had not heard her phone ring as she was
riding the metro to work and thanking us very enthusiastically. "I just listened to that wonderful,
joy-filled voice mail! Thank you, all of
you! I loved it and am happy I can
listen to it over and over... I cannot
wait to see all of you and hug the kids."
She also texted my children to let them know how much she enjoyed their
message.
This Kindness
Muse is one of those people who is herself "joy-filled." She is generous and thoughtful, and always
expresses her appreciation. I have no
doubt that she has positively impacted my children with her enthusiastic
appreciation of phone calls, drawings and thank you notes received. Her kindness in expressing her gratitude reminds
my children of the impact they can have on others.
